Full details
The Aubrion React Sleeveless Base Layer is designed for adult female riders seeking comfort and performance during warmer weather activities. Its key benefit is effective climate control and moisture management, providing a lightweight, second-skin feel. A potential caveat is its body-fitting nature, which may not suit all preferences. This base layer features UPF50+ fabric, 4-way stretch, rapid-dry technology, and a 1/4 zip for ventilation, all finished with subtle branding.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this base layer?
The main purpose is to provide climate control and performance support for active riders, particularly during warmer weather, by managing moisture and offering UV protection.
Is this base layer suitable for cold weather?
This is a sleeveless base layer designed for warmer conditions. While it can be layered, it does not provide significant insulation for cold weather on its own.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the product sizing chart and choose the size that aligns with your measurements. The garment is designed for a body fit, meaning it should be snug without restricting movement.
Can I wear this for other sports?
Yes, the moisture-wicking, quick-dry, and stretch properties make it suitable for various athletic activities beyond equestrianism.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
How should I wash the base layer to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning. Iron on a low setting if necessary.
Does the zipper have a protective cover?
Yes, the 1/4 zip neck includes a chin guard to prevent the zipper from irritating the skin.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If it is the correct size, consider if the body-fit style is preferred. The garment is designed to be close-fitting for a second-skin feel.
Moisture not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not overloaded with fabric conditioners or softeners, as these can impede moisture-wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions with mild detergent.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the chin guard is not caught.
